MAFAND-MT, French pairs

French–Mooré and French–Bambara news translations from MAFAND-MT (Masakhane), copied unchanged from upstream commit c1a4235, with upstream's train, dev (here validation) and test splits kept apart.

Only these two of MAFAND's six French pairs are here; fr-bbj, fr-ewe, fr-fon and fr-wol are upstream.

Config	train	validation	test
fr-mos	2 493	1 492	1 574
fr-bam	3 013	1 500	1 500

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("burkimbia/mafand-fr", "fr-mos", revision="lafand-c1a4235")
ds["test"][0]["translation"]  # {"fr": ..., "mos": ...}

Each tag (lafand-<commit>) holds the files of that upstream commit.
